'Batman' star Julie Newmar explains why Burt Ward was 'absolutely perfect' to play Robin

For this Catwoman, watching Batman and Robin’s bond grow on set was pure purr-fection.

Julie Newmar, who played the feline villain in the ‘60s series "Batman," told Fox News Digital that Burt Ward was a real catch to play the Caped Crusader's trusty sidekick. She starred alongside Adam West as superhero Batman, and Ward as Robin the Boy Wonder.

"Give the producer William Dozier and 20th Century Fox credit for making the absolutely perfect decision to cast Burt Ward as Robin," said Newmar.
